The basic presupposition of the paper in that pedagogy has not founded its methodologycal specificity in defining the problem of the educational value of labour; furzhermore, that even those rare theoretical elaborations of the problem of the educational values of labour fail to recognize the pedagogical implications of the results obtained by research carried out in sociological and psychological studies. On the basis of results obtained by inquiries into the relationship towards labour, the author lays down the practical - pedagogical implications for the theoretical analysis of the educational value of labour in pedagogy; 1) the results of the investigation of the relationship towards labour give us an insight into the effectiveness of the principles involved in the transformation of the school system, 2) it frees itself of those theoretical orientations which look upon labour as "life's greatest need” or, contrary to this, as an aliented activity, 3) a list of concrete examples evincing that the egalitarian conceptions cannot be realized in the sectors of labour and education as part of the post - socialist developments in Croatia and 4) a different valorization of the educational value of labour presupposes the acceptance of the dominant value orientations towards labour as the basis for elaborating a new educational policy.
